  They used bikers but they were not Hells Angels
  The 12"s were a relatively new format with extended mixes that everyone is
used to now
  Must have look through my collection to see if i have any rarities there.
I think SDC had at least one 12", The Death Cult certainly and The Cult
revelled in it.

  Found a Killing Joke live vinyl, the other day. have nt had time to look
at where, what and when

          Afternoon all...

          Being the recovering goth that I am, I bought the four-CD box of
The Cult's Love over Christmas. There's a sizeable booklet with it that
contains lots of quotes from various interviews, reviews and articles,
including a couple of interesting mentions of the mighty Joke. The first is
from Billy Duffy:

          "We were into the classics, but we were still into Psychedelic
Furs, Billy Idol and Killing Joke- they were a little bit older than us- it
was dance rock. No-one played you on the radio so you made 12"s for the
clubs and built that way with a big back beat, all the bands were doing it:
Play Dead, Sisters of Mercy. We were conscious that everything had to
groove."

          And the second is from Ian Astbury:

          "The Mission and the Sisters of Mercy were playing the Royal
Albert Hall and they had Hell's Angels doing security and the night before
Wayne and I went to see Killing Joke and we met Jimmy Page there. He was
pretty fucked up and incoherent but we were blown away meeting him."

          Quite interesting, I thought!

          Jim.
